Why Choose Tower?
Simplicity meets power. Tower strips away Git’s complexity through an approachable visual interface where common workflows—like merging, rebasing, and pushing changes—are just a drag-and-drop away. Undo mistakes instantly, stage changes line-by-line for precision commits, and explore your project’s history without ever touching the terminal.
Advanced users gain serious productivity wins with features like cherry-picking, submodule management, git-flow support, and git-lfs integration. Single-line staging lets you craft perfectly crafted commits. The blame view and file history give you complete visibility into how your code evolved.
Comprehensive Integration & Support
Tower connects seamlessly with GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, GitSwarm, Beanstalk, Visual Studio Team Services, Team Foundation Server, and Rhodecode—so your workflow fits your platform, not the other way around. It even handles legacy workflows with git-svn support, and scales beautifully across Retina displays and full-screen modes.

- Fully Merged Detection: Tower now matches your local branches against merged pull requests from your hosting service — reliably catching squash and rebase merges that plain Git can never see! PR detection is available as a free Preview and will become part of Tower Pro in an upcoming release.
- Fully Merged Detection: Three further checks complete the picture: Git’s own merge detection, merge commit analysis (branch name and matching timestamps), and deleted remote tracking branches.
- Fully Merged Hint: The redesigned hint shows exactly which checks matched, with direct links to the merge commit or pull request — so you can verify before deleting. Prefer to keep a branch around?
- Hide the hint for that branch via “Don’t Show Again”.
- Branch Cleanup: Branch cleanup hints now include an Archive action.
